The 22-year-old nominee and performer walked the red carpet sporting a high ponytail with waves that cascaded down her August Getty Atelier coat dress. According to her hairstylist, OGX brand ambassador Kahh Spence, the contrast between Kehlani‘s smooth edges and textured pony was intentional and a collaborative decision.

He said: “iHeart is a fun night, so we wanted to go the opposite with the hair and make it feel modern and glamourous.” To play up this duality, which is totally aligned with Kehlani’s girly-meets-edgy persona, the hair pro used a combination of lightweight oils, flexible styling gels and waxes, and tress-strengthening hairsprays that all cost $9 each.
